Technical instructions for using Zoom and what to check in advance
Mostly we use ZOOM for our online training.
If you are not familiar with Zoom, please find some key pointers below:
- You will be sent a link to join the individual Zoom session(s) online – that will look like this example. When you click into it, you will be prompted to download and install Zoom. It would be helpful to download in advance.
- Try it out first – you can also join a test meeting on Zoom in advance of the session so that you are more familiar with the look and feel of it in advance by clicking https://zoom.us/test
- Arrive promptly Unless agreed otherwise, the session will usually be opened up 5 minutes before the allocated time, and we would encourage you to join early to check your sound and video quality.
- Choose best tech. It is essential for the Workshop that you join the Zoom link via a laptop or PC (not smartphone) in order for use to be able to use your camera and audio to be able to fully participate in the session.
- Find out more? For further information, there are a number of video tutorials on Zoom but you don’t need to be an expert – only to be able to ensure you can join the meeting successfully! We will be managing everything else as the hosts.
- Be present please. In terms of general ground rules for the session, we will usually ask you to join using your cameras (and if we have any break-out sessions, this is even more important).
- Get to know the system. We will also be asking you to mute and unmute yourself as appropriate. These controls can be found in the bottom left hand corner of screen on your control panels (as below). We will remind you of this at the start.
- If you have any queries at all please contact us: (+44) 07772 333001
ADDITIONAL ONLINE INFORMATION:
FOR YOU: Please check that you can agree with each question below.
1. There is adequate space for you. If you are in a room with others, that you have appropriate social distance
2. There is no glass, china or other breakable material that may lead to injury in the room in which you are undertaking the course for the duration of the course.
3. For any participants aged under 16, an appropriate adult (parent/carer aged 18+) must be present in the room at the same time.
4. If the participant is unable to follow the trainer’s guidance they should cease the class immediately until it is possible to ask the instructor for further guidance
5. You have made clear to the instructor if you have any special requirements
6. You are clear that any memories or emotional issues that may come up during the course, you will only focus on those that are not challenging. Eg: if an issue was to score from 0-10 for emotional triggering, (0 being no trigger at all) you will not work with an issue that rates over a 3 or 4 at the maximum.
7. NLP is not a replacement for medical advice or therapy. If in doubt, please see your medical professional.
